Beschreibung

The Bright Pi is a breakout board for the Raspberry Pi (compatible with other I2C devices like Arduino etc.) which combines both visible bright white light and infrared illumination to your Raspberry Pi. It can be used with the Raspberry Pi camera module, the Pi NoIR camera module or in any other project that requires LEDs.

Bright Pi can be directly plugged into the I2C interface on your Raspberry Pi, and is completely controllable via the command line and using Python. The brightness of the LEDs is also controllable using the onboard LED driver chip.

The Bright Pi allows you to control any ~ 5 V LEDs using the I2C interface on the Raspberry Pi so that you could substitute the provided LEDs with the LEDs you want. The Bright Pi has M2 mounting holes, similar to the Raspberry Pi camera module or the Pi NoIR and can, therefore, be attached directly to the camera module without much hustle.

In the Bright Pi Kit are included:

1 x Bright Pi PCB (LED driver chip pre-assembled)

4 x bright white LEDs (Cree C513A-WSN-CV0Y0151 )

8 x bright IR LEDs (LITEON HSDL-4261)

1 x right angle header

1 x 4-way header cable (20 cm)

3 x M2 12 mm nylon bolts

12 x M2 nylon nuts

3 x stickers

1 x info card

Please note that this is a self-assembly kit of parts which will require soldering.

Please note that the Raspberry Pi Camera, seen in some photos, is not included with the Bright Pi.
